What did you do in the garden today?

It's been dry for "a spell" here, negligible rain, so I have been watering, every other day.

Lots of pea blossoms today:

Squash looking good, too:

Our place is lined and up the walls with 1/2 inch welded wire. The mice fly through it no problem.
The snake has moved on to the barn. I no longer smell it in the coop, but I do in the barn. He can eat all the ground squirrels and mice he wants. I don't mind snakes. They just smell.
If they didn't eat my eggs, I'd let ours stick around too... Especially since I don't have any baby chicks this year. Trying to reduce my flock size...
 
GAH, I've fallen behind again!

Got the messiest raised bed cleared out but there was so many weeds and grasses to pull, the level has dropped a lot. I think I'll buy some of the crummy bagged soil from a local store and dump all of last years pots, and empty the left over compost tea solids in there as well. I might even scoop up some of the composted stuff from the run. It's the bed intended for green beans and pickling cucumbers so I need to get it going.

We got a nasty late frost the other night and that killed the Better Boy tomato that I had rolled the dice on. No one to blame but myself.

Scarlette had a litter of either 7 or 8 kits last night and they seem hale and hearty. This is only her second litter and while she lost her first litter it wasn't her fault. We had a mixup with her breeding date and the nest box wasn't in her hutch. We felt terrible and she was clearly upset. Poor girl. :hit
